Long Beach’s Rock For Veterans Keeps the Music Going Despite Coronavirus
You can’t stop Frank McIlquham from rocking out for veterans. In 2010, he cofounded Rock for Vets with U.S. Army veteran Jerry Salas to help former military members interact with society and improve their self-esteem through music. But when the coronavirus pandemic hit early last year, Rock for Vets had to end its group classes, which provided vocal and musical instrument coaching to 130 people a week.
